I'm a Pharma non grata
really, I am. I was getting acquainted with a woman over coffee and we got to vocations. I told her I was in Pharma and she says "oh...I have to leave". Huh.

Maybe she has a problem? Probably better for you that way.

Maybe she thought you were trying to use "Pharma" as clever code for being a drug dealer.

Perhaps she thought you said, "I'm a FARM-ah." That's how folks say farmer down he-ah.

In Denver, Pharma would mean that you ran a Medical Marijuana Dispensary. Recently legal here.

What does "in Pharma" mean?
Does it mean "in pharmaceutical sales?" I truthfully don't know. Just curious. But if it does, maybe next time try saying that. She could be the type person that doesn't like cheeky, spoken abbreviations. You know, like people who say, "What's the diff?" when they should really say, "What's the difference?" Time is not that short. YMMV

You probably should not have unzipped your pants at the same time.

She sounds like a PITA and you're lucky to be rid of her with so little invested.

actually "pharma" in NW New Jersey is a common term since there are a lot of "pharma" companies in that area and there are lots of people working for them.
Maybe she doesn't want to talk to someone who'll most likely be unemployeed in the future??  She could have also been an FDA agent?? Don't they have a training center near there? |

canna change law physics

10+ years ago, one of my co-workers was at a bar. He was on one side of a girl, and another guy was on the other side. They we talking it up pretty well, until they came to jobs.
"What do you do?" "I'm an engineer". She then turns to the guy on the other, who she had not talked to, and asked what he did for a living. "I'm a shepard." She went home with the shepard...

The was an article in the paper this moring about Hugh Hefner.
Apparently Hef was talking about some middle age guy asking his advise on pick up lines. Hugh said: "I just say 'hi' my name is Hugh Hefner, and it always works!" One day, I am going to use that line!
